Surnames: Sipes, Barton, Hayward Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4g.2ADE/2136 Message Board Post: >From page 846, 1886 Portrait and Biographical Album of Knox County, IL John M. Sipes There are many successful and well-to-do farmers in Knox County, and the township of Lynn certainly has its quota. Prominent among those who have obtained success in life through their own energy and perserverence is the subject of this notice, residing on section 2, Lynn Township, where he is engaged in his chosen vocation, together with that of the raising of stock, giving special attention to Holstein cattle and a high grade of swine. Mr. Sipes came to this country in 1862, since which time he has been a resident in Lynn Township. He owns a good farm of 130 acres, on which he has good improvements and his land is under an advanced state of cultivation. John M. Sipes was born in Fulton County, Pennsylvania on 31 January 1840. His father, John Sipes, was a farmer by vocation and a native of Pennsylvania, of German ancestry. In Bedford County, that Sate, her native place, the father of our subject married Mary Barton. After the father's marriage, he was for some years, engaged in farming in Bedford County, and while a resident there was elected three terms to represent the people of that county in the State Legislature. He was a gentleman of considerable ability and possessed the happy faculty of making and retaining friends wherever he resided. He was a strong Democrat and was an active worker for the success of that party until his death. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He came to this county in 1857, but located over the line, at Galva, in close proximity to which place the father engaged in agricultural pursuits and died on his fine homeseat on 14 January 1881, aged 82 years. The mother still su! rvives and is living with the subject of this notice. She has attained the venerable age of 88 years and is stouter and more healthy than many of her sex at 40. Mr. Sipes was 17 years of age when his parents came to this State, and had received his education in the common schools prior to that time. He lived with his parents in this county until his marriage, which took place in Henry County, on 20 December 1876, to MIss Emma A. Hayward. She was born in Lawrence County, Ohio, on 11 September 1852, and was a daughter of O.G. and M. Hayward, natives of Ohio. Her parents were married in that state and came to Illinois about 1855, settling in Victoria Township, this County. Later they moved to Walnut Grove Township, and still later to Henry County. They now reside in Newton, Harvey County, Kansas. Mrs. Sipes received a good education in her early years and at the age of 22, began the profession of teaching, which she followed until her marriage. She has borne her husband four children, one of whom is deceased. The record is as follows: John H., William F., Mary O., and Charlie, deceased. Both heads of the family are members of ! the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Sipes is a School Trustee of his township and in politics a Democrat.

Cardiff is a general farmer on section 2, Lynn township, and has been in this vicinity since December 1865. He was born in Fulton County, Pennsylvania on 7 July 1845, and his father, William F., was also a native of that state and county. William F. Cardiff was a merchant by vocation, and was married in Fulton County, Pennsylvania to Catherine Sipes (see sketch of J.M. Sipes). They came to Illinois, in April 1864, lovating near Galva where the mother died in March 1869. The father is still living in Galva. In politics he is a Republican, and in religion a Methodist. The subject of our sketch lived at home up to the time he enlisted as a soldier, going from Fulton County, Pennsylvania on 28 February 1864, into the 22nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Calvary, Company H, under the command of Captain Jolly. He took an active part in the engagements under General Seridan, through the Shenandoah Valley and at the battles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek, besides the Western Virginia campaign and others; his horse was shot out from under him at Cedar Creek, Virginia. He was never excused from duty on account of sickness and participated in every engagement of his regiment - 24 in all - and was honorably discharged at the end of the war at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on 15 November 1865. Shortly after the close of the war Mr. Cardiff came to Illinois, where his parents had arrived the year before. His father was Captain of Company B, 3rd Maryland Volunteer Infantry. He was out two and one half years and at no time wounded but was taken prisoner at Harper's Ferry. He held his commission during the whole time, being paroled when captured and was honorably discharged. This was before he came to Illinois. Mr.Cardiff was married on 13 March 1872, at Lynn Township, to Miss Latrode R. Sellon, born in Lynn Township, on 6 August 1849. Her parents are both dead. Her father was for many years a minister of the Protestant Methodist Church and lived on his farm. They came from England to this country prior to their marriage and made settlment at an early day in Knox County. The father, whose name was Edward Sellon, departed this life on 23 December 1883 in Galva, and the mother, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Charles, died 3 October 1873. Mrs. Cardiff lived at home until her marriage with our subject. She is the mother of five children - Ira D., Bessie C., Ada J., Nellie I., and William E. Mr. Cardiff has lived at his present residence since 1874. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Galva, attending it when convenient. Mr. Cardiff is Republican in politics.

This Oscar Price is nephew to my 3rd great-grandfather, Jonathan Price. He and Oscar's father, George Price, were brothers. I do have a picture of Jonathan taken about 1874 but would be interested in ANY pictures of this family that might exist. I remain interested in any other information regarding their father and mother, William & Barbara (Boosinger) Price, especially anything that might be available from the mid 1700's. William Price was born 7 June 1763, probably in Somerset Co., PA. He is believed to be either the son or grandson of a DAVID PRICE who possibly settled somewhere around what is now Wheeling, West Virginia---probably early 1700's. William married Catherine Barbara Boosinger 11 Dec 1796 in Somerset, PA. Their first four children, Susannah -- 29 Oct 1797, Jonathan -- 1 Mar 1800, Elizabeth -- 25 Oct 1801, and George -- 22 Dec 1803, were all born in Somerset. By 1805 this family had moved to Raveena Portage, OH where their remaining six children were born. They were Mary (Polly) -- 16 Oct 1806, William -- 30 Nov 1808, Nancy -- 31 Mar 1811, Nathan -- 8 Jun 1813, Amantha -- 14 Dec 1815 and Mary Ann -- 16 Jun 1818. Regarding the father of Oscar F. Price, George, I have the following information: George Price, b. 22 Dec 1803 in Somerset, PA married Mary Caris on 9 Mar 1826. George died on 5 July 1881 according to the bible pages this was taken from. Thank you again for the biography for Oscar. Sherry
